Sorry for that terrible title. My creative title skills just aren't coming out right now.
This is recruitment for my RP: The Monster in All of Us
http://www.rpnation.com/threads/a-monster-in-all-of-us.70080/
If your really good at rping a psycho-killer personality, and really beautiful descriptive writing that can deliciously explain every inch of the murder your character is committing...well this is the RP for you.
This is an Advanced RP, so I expect at least a paragraph for each response.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This roleplay is sort of like a play. I am already writing a story based around this, however I am using this roleplay as a chance to grab some ideas.
Important Notes:
-The character Cacien is possibly the most important character in this story. He has an obsessive personality, but is suffocating himself with all of his inner emotions and thoughts that he was taught since he was young to keep to himself. This lack of displaying his true feelings has distorted him, making him overall different from a normal human being and forcing his darker side to turn into a different being. So basically, if you take his character you will be RPing two "characters". One is a loving, caring, and protective Cacien. While the other. The "Thing" is just a monster that wants to kill anything that angered or hurt Cacien. The "Thing" however is not some macho monster that runs around hitting people on the back of their heads. Just think of the most calm and collected psycho killer who has a way with words that could tangle your inner thoughts and emotions before they even touch a single hair on your head. Basically like Moriarty (for those Sherlock fans).
-Erika is likely the second most important character in the story. She like an "angel" that saved Cacien. Her personality and character is not so innocent however. She suffered through a hellish life that left behind only a shell which Cacien had saved. An abusive and perverted step-father, a cruel mother, and only seen as a thing that brings death...she believed that her existence was nothing but a curse to all of the people who was near her. She knows of Mika (from Cacien's unconscious sleep talking) and instinctively figured out that Mika was someone that Cacien loved dearly. Erika finds a picture one day, and notices how hauntingly similar they look alike, making her suspicious of why Cacien took her in. Erika is the first person to talk to "The Thing" in person, and also the first person to find out what exactly Cacien is. However, due to her loyalty to the man who saved her, she keeps the dark secret to herself.

On his fifth birthday, his mother mysteriously disappeared and was later found dead in the bathroom. It was ruled a suicide...but everyone knew who the actual culprit was. As painful years passed, his father turned his greed for love over to the greed of more power and wealth. "He is possessed," people would whisper. Perverted nobles began to favor Cacien's beautiful traits. His twisted father saw this as a chance to use his son to gain more power and a higher status. When Cacien turned 15, he ran with the help of his best friend Mika who eventually became his first true love. His father saw the poor and useless Mika as nothing but an obstacle in his plan of using his son, the nobles' pet, as a boosted in social status. Finally a zealous noble woman, an extremely powerful politician's wife, an important figure in boosting the greedy man's status threatened to throw away all support...if Cacien was not completely hers. Three years later on a fateful Christmas Eve night...the night that Cacien had planned to propose to Mika to marry him and run away from the twisted society they were entrapped in...Mika was killed brutally in front Cacien's eyes. After her death, the remaining shell of Cacien was wore down through drugs and other methods of torture. A noble's pet was what he supposed to be until he died. When he turned 20, he once again ran away, secretly buying a hidden away apartment in a sketchy neighborhood, hoping to live the rest of his life out quietly. But on that night he found a stray girl...who reflected his hopeless image from 2 years ago. Little did he know that he had just trapped himself into a fate of sick obsession and never ending hole of darkness.

"A spoiled brat" was all she thought of him, until she found him sitting alone away from the group of boys that were playing soccer. He was possibly the loneliest child she had ever seen...maybe it was pity that had drawn her to him. But soon she found herself falling for his rare smile and laughter. His happiness had become her happiness. As they graduated from middle school, his smile once again disappeared and his laughter became hallow. One day after school, she followed him to see him forced into a luxurious looking black car. A beautiful woman sat in the car kissing Cacien. His eyes were again filled with loneliness that she had seen in elementary school.

She shouldn't have cared.
Maybe then she would still be living.
But she loved him too much.
